It was Gandhi's philosophy of peaceful, nonviolent protest that inspired Kelly and Todd Galley's children to revolt against the Lincoln Park School District's new, stricter dress code.I have always thought that uniform policies made little sense. The rationale is always shifting, kinda like why we are in Iraq. One year it is gang affiliation, next it is parents want it because it makes shopping for clothes easier, one time someone told me it was a good thing because it helps blurs class lines, last year someone said it is about maintaining order in hallways and discipline.....the answers to the question keep changing.
But it was the text of the First Amendment -- ironed onto their T-shirts -- that got them suspended.
So I'll ask you. Why do we have a uniform policy?
P.S. Kinda of a cool story about kids suspended for wearing the first amendment, yeah?
